WEST HAM UNITED
West Ham United had to dig deep to see off sixth-tier Kidderminster Harriers in the FA Cup, equalising in injury time and then finding an extra-time winner when penalties seemed inevitable. But David Moyes’ side are nothing if not fighters and only Liverpool (12) have scored more Premier League (PL) goals after the 75th minute than West Ham’s ten all season.
The Hammers are currently fifth in the league table with 37 points, having played more matches than all of their three direct competitors in Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. It makes Tuesday’s clash with Watford a must-win encounter, as David Moyes’s men look to keep up the pressure on fourth-placed Man United while remaining ahead of Spurs and Arsenal.
WATFORD
Watford, meanwhile, are dawdling on the wrong end of the table. With just 15 points on the board, the Londoners are currently in the drop zone, just a couple of points ahead of bottom club Burnley. The Hornets are also coming on the back of a run of ten-game winless streak in all competitions, with their last victory coming against Manchester United back in November.
On a positive note, Watford did bring in veteran Roy Hodgson to replace Claudio Ranieri during the remainder of the season. The former England boss started his tenure with a goalless draw with Burnley. One would imagine the visitors will be happy with a similar result, though, given West Ham’s form, Rodgers’s men will certainly fancy their chances of stealing three points at the London Stadium this midweek.

OUR WEST HAM VS. WATFORD BETTING TIPS
This is a difficult game to predict, given West Ham’s disappointing run of form, coupled with Watford’s new managerial appointment, that will certainly impact their results. We are expecting both sides to appear pragmatic and conservative with their approach, which could potentially lead to a low-scoring encounter. As a result, we will go for under 3.5 Goals for the first of today’s betting tips.
But it is fair to point out that West Ham have a far deadlier attacking setup, one that could make life difficult for Cathcart and co. The hosts West Ham certainly have the advantage due to the home support, while the return of star players might just be enough to help them to narrowly overpower the relegation candidates.
